Dear HUBB

I found a suitable brand new bike in Calle Lira - great.
I am about to buy it but a little worried about the next steps to take.
Your advice would be highly appreciated :-)

1) I managed to get a RUT - done.

2) Which documents do I need from the vendor of a new bike.
My understanding is I will need those for registration (at the Registro Civile and Municipalidad):
- Contrato de Compra-Venta de Vehiculo (3 copies)
- Homoglacion

We will NOT NEED the following for NEW bikes - correct?
- Certificado de Emisiones Contaminantes
- Certificado de Revision Tecnica Clase B

Is this correct/complete?

3) The Registro Civile nearest to Los Heroes is:
Dirección: Huérfanos 1570
Horario: Lunes a Viernes 08:30 a 14:00 horas
Oficial: Juana Soto Silva
Which office in particular will I have to got to? what should I ask for?

There I expect to receive the Solicitud de Prima Inscripcion and get the number plates.

4) Get the insurance - Seguro Obligatorio

SOAP: It is possible to buy it directly at the Municipalidad - correct?
Now I can ride the bike for five days (without Permiso de Circulacion) - correct?

Before leaving Chile: MERCOSUR insurance for Argentinia, Peru, Bolivia - buy it online.

5) Go to the Municipalidad
The one nearest to Los Heroes where I stay was found at:

I Municipalidad De Colina
San Martín 77
Colina
XIII Metropolitana de Santiago

To permanently drive the vehicle the Permiso de Circulacion is mandatory.
Is this step mandatory for a new bike as well or only to renew the papers in March?

6) Wait for the Padron......
Once the Padron is in the system I can have it printed out at any Registro Civile in Chile - correct?
I will only need the Padron for selling the bike so I can already leave to Argentina without the Padron.

7) Enjoy South-America on my own motorbike :-)

I realy value your support so close to fulfilling my dream of independently travelling this great continent.
Once I am done you are invited for a drink here at my hotel Los Heroes.

Cheers,
Wauschi

I just moved to Santiago and am just starting to look for a bike, so very interested in any responses you get here.

Strangely, I'd found a couple sites that said the first step was to get a RUT... but when I stopped by the SII in Providencia, they eventually (after 45 mins spent waiting in 2 lines) told me to come back to request the RUT only after I had a quote for a bike in hand.

RUT is definitely the first step - no quote needed.
In the meantime we made it to Bariloche without permanent Patron, without Argentinean insurance - without trouble.
